Who: Lorcan, Lysander, Rose, Demelza, Luna, Rolf, Albus, etc etc etc. I'm lazy. Where: House #36 When: January 14th, 7 pm What: SURPRISE BIRTHDAY Rating: PG? Comments: Can be IC/OOC!! Whatever you guys want/need
Thankfully for Rose, the magic going out in the village didn't exactly bother her. After all like a few others in the village, Rose had kind of forsaken the magical world for the muggle one, and not only that, she had grown up in a mostly muggle environment to begin with. So setting up for the party had taken time, but it wasn't terribly difficult. Honestly it was almost nice to do the work by hand, instead of having the instant gratification of magical decorating on your side and the like. This way it felt more personal than anything else.
With the assistance of Mike, Demelza, Albus, and anyone else who expressed interest in helping set up, Rose kind of went for a Zoo-like/Safari theme (Example here and and here). I other words, it wasn't totally lame, but there were still some cheesy bits. Like the stuffed animals that were probably hidden in a lot of places because come on... two girls set this up. Let's be realistic :p.
A lot of the food was also made to fit the theme- Examplesarefun!
Now as for the surprise, Rose and Demelza had everyone in position around exactly 7, and I figure the twins showed up just a bit after. Everyone did the usual cliche SURPRISE! And the party commenced. There was dancing, food, chatting, probably real animals running around too, drinking for anyone that wanted, and some stupid party games like pin the tail on the zebra. It was semi-cheesy but super awesome too. And of course, it also wasn't a total rager. Just a fun party for close family and friends.
Like I said before, please feel free to post comments IC/OOC or use this to spark offshoot threads? Anyone, it's here for your use! <3
